Thomastik-Infeld s Rondo strings speak clearly and sing freely under the most extreme dynamic demands in orchestral playing, while in solos the perfect balance between warmth and brilliance helps my violin to shine like never before. I m hooked on this feeling of great health! Pieter Schoeman For a violinist strings are as important as a great bow and a wonderful instrument. For as long as I have been playing the violin, I have been trying to find the right strings for my instrument and playing style. A few years ago I finally found the perfect match for my Stradivari: the G, D and E strings from Thomastik-Infeld s Rondo! I use the steel core Viola A string from Peter Infeld. All of these strings have the highest quality. They are perfectly balanced and strong; yet so smooth, silky and warm in sound! I m a big fan of Thomastik-Infeld, a company with great attention to detail and great knowledge in producing first class strings! The Rondo strings enhance my favorite aspect of my violin: its vocal versatility. They animate a diverse cast of voices with an extraordinary range of inflections to produce a rich and expressive soundscape. Simone Porter I choose Thomastik-Infeld strings because they give me the clarity and responsiveness I need to make my violin sing and speak. Because I perform as a soloist, chamber musician, and concertmaster, I need strings that are stable, powerful, and that give me a range of colors to explore on the instrument. The combination of Rondo and Peter-Infeld strings by Thomastik-Infeld provide me with all this and more.
